Did not see yesterday’s results show but his performance on Sunday was not the best vocally though it was very entertaining. That said he was not the worst plus he is super talented so it is a bit disappointing he was eliminated this early.

This year’s Top 10 is super hot it must be said, that crazy looking white boy who won last year would not even make the Top 10 with this lot. That said Tshidi is a goddess, he rendition of I Wanna Know was mind-blowing. When someone stands out in a group this good you just know there is something special about them.

I said it last year, the producers butchered the show by asking contestants to sing songs by the Parletons in the very first round that is why you had a talentless guy win the competition but this year it is talent all round, I am very impressed. Big ups to all of you going forward, each and every one of you deserves to be there.

A bit disappointed that my home boy is out of the completion; but I noticed that the contestants don’t listen to the advice that the judges give them. The song choice was not the best and I believe that it did not to justice to his vocal talent.

I was also unimpressed with Siphiwe’s song and Monde’s song choice. Nonetheless as they say its only competition. Just my 2 cents worth.

Disappointed indeed...even at myself because I forgot to vote. I like this guy and his powerful booming voice...a blend of Luther, Levert and Barry White.
